Powerlifting

Powerlifting is a sport in GISD where athletes compete in bench press and squat to achieve a max lift. 3 attempts are given for each individual lift and scored on technique as pass/fail. We encourage all of our athletes to compete in this sport as there are weight classes from 90 pounds up to super heavyweights, and is not based on grade.

As Forbes is having a new weight room built, but the timeline is unknown. Due to how lengthy a process it is to build a new weight room, this will most likely conflict with our powerlifting season, November to February, and might require practices being held offsite at the GHS annex weight room. We will announce our schedule when we reach this season.

Coach Headrick is in charge of powerlifting for all boys and girl athletes.
